[Rockhounds] An interesting search engine for pubs

[Pmodreski at aol.com]

This looks very useful.
 
I just had it search for some old titles in mineralogy, and for example it  
came up with
 
 
Outline of Professor Mohs's New system of crystallography  and mineralogy 
by Friedrich Mohs 
Language: English  
Publisher: Edinburgh : Printed for A. Constable,  1820. 
for which it gave some 21 library locations which have this.   (Strangely, 
all were in the U.S., none in the UK or anywhere else; but for other  books, it 
does give locations in other nations.  Also, all that it came up  with for 
this book, it said were microfilm copies, no book copies were  listed.) 
So it certainly works for rare items!
